Productive Gardens

 Quite a few people are asking why their tomato plants that were growing very healthily, have suddenly developed dark spots on the lower leaves and seem to be dying from the bottom up? In most cases this is due to fungal disease. To slow down the spread of the fungal spores, remove the effected lower leaves and put in the rubbish bin, not in the compost. Prunning the lateral shoots off will also help increase the airflow though the plants. It is a good idea to use a preventative copper spray to make the leaf surfaces unattractive for fungal spores to delelop and grow. Kocide is a nice easy spray to mix and apply. Try and get up under the leaves as well.

Why just grow Silverbeet when you can make a colourful statement in your garden by growing a rainbow or red legs variety which have multi coloured stems? Easy to grow and it does best in these cooler months. 

Eco Neem will do everything Eco Oil can do plus lots more. In the past, grasshoppers have been difficult to control organically but not any more, Eco Neem will protect your crops. Also in the past, Dipel has been the best way to get rid of caterpillars but now, Eco Neem will cover them as well. So Eco Neem is really a great all round organic pest controller, from all the soft body bugs like aphids and mealy bug to mites, caterpillars and grasshoppers.

If you’d like to clean out the garden shed and just replace all those different containers of bug killer and other pesticides with just one, you’ll be pleased to hear that the new Eco Neem will do the job. Based on the extracts from the neem tree, it is certified organic but will control both chewing and sucking insects. That includes grasshoppers that have been extremally difficult to get rid of naturally in the past.
